Jim Elliot. I Believe Prayer is never wasted--never in vain. I Believe. The question is not so much where we stand--but in what direction we are moving. I Believe A lot of life is all about---plan B. I Believe If what you believe doesnt affect how you live--I would question its importance. I Believe Being a teenager---is not an easy task. I Believe You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely. Psalm 59:17. I Believe in the scripture of the Old and New testament as verbally inspired by God, and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.. Ben Blanton. Pastor’s Notes: Sunday morning a very good service with three people coming forward for baptism that had been saved during the week. Sunday night everyone enjoyed a Christian movie. Wednesday night Bro. Mike Chapman brought a very inspiring message. As most know the City Cable has been sold by the city. I don’t know what kind of impact this will have on our T.V. program if any. Since we been on the air this is the fourth time there was a change of ownership. The other times didn’t make much difference. Our first program was October 15, 1993. The cable company was Enstar at that time. On May 18 the Sky’s will be with us on Sunday morning. The Sky’s have been coming to Calvary since 2006 and maybe longer. The story of the On a Scale of 0 to 100 tract While some friends and I were out witnessing at the mall during lunch one day, we were conversation from the natural to the spiritual. We often do this by asking people questions. One friend suggested the question “On a scale of 1 to 100, how sure are you that you would go to Heaven when you die?” The question is right to the point and covers a number of scenarios. Even professing Christians that go to church every Sunday might answer less than 100. And the unbelievers most certainly would answer less than 100. Regardless of the persons answer there is always a follow-up question to consider. Let’s look at the possibilities. If the person answers 100%, then we can follow up with something like “WOW! You really will go to Heaven?” Now at this point the person can profess their faith in Jesus. If so, great, we are talking to a brother (or sister) in Christ. I like to ask some follow-up questions like if they are reading their Bible regularly, what church they attend, how they got saved, etc. Most true believers will be encouraged by these types of questions. If they answered 100%, but then when we ask them why they come up with something about religion, or anything other than repentance and faith in Jesus, then it leads to a Gospel presentation. Similarly, if someone answers anything less than 100%, then you can ask them if they’d like to be sure and you can share the Gospel with them. We have found that this question is a good conversation starter.

Salvation is of the Lord. --Jonah 2:9 Salvation is the work of God. It is He alone who quickens the soul dead in trespasses and sins, and it is He also who maintains the soul in its spiritual life. He is both Alpha and Omega. Salvation is of the Lord. If I am prayerful, God makes me prayerful; if I have graces, they are Gods gifts to me; if I hold on in a consistent life, it is because He upholds me with His hand. I do nothing whatever towards my own preservation, except what God Himself first does in me. Whatever I have, all my goodness is of the Lord alone. Wherein I sin, that is my own; but wherein I act rightly, that is of God, wholly and completely. If I have repulsed a spiritual enemy, the Lords strength nerved my arm. C.H. Spurgeon
